The Moonies were an alternative rock band from Liverpool, England that existed from 2001 to 2005.
[1] Banks, Clarke, and Berry were members of the Moggs, who released an album titled Sweet Corn & Soft Porn for Foulplay Records in 2000.
The Moggs lost their recording contract, and in 2001 recruited Charmley and adopted the new name the Moonies as a tribute to Keith Moon.
The band was known for their emo-oriented sound mixed with lyrics and fashion styles reminiscent of 1960s British rock.
Charmley left the Moonies in 2004, followed by Banks in 2005, after which the group disbanded.
